Older games just look different on the new gen consoles.

Thinking about how much performance the series x has got me wondering what it would be like playing older Xbox one titles. All titles wore played in 4k at 60fps .but switched to 1080 and 720 one some title to see if it made any difference. It did not.

I started with Call of Duty, modern warfare remastered. I remembered playing this on the Xbox One x, and it it looked pretty good in 4k UHD . This was not the case with the series x, tho . Menu areas looked fine, but once the game started, there was this overly pixelated look to everything. Panning side to side also felt extremely fast, and it wasn't due to my game settings. The colors, on the other hand, looked very vivid. It didn't look bad standing still, tho . It just looked off when in motion, and I had already disabled motion blur, so that was the best it was going to get.

Skate 3 was next . It looked just like it did all those years ago. Nothing about it felt off. I've come to attribute that to it being on game pass ultimate.

Next was forza horizon 2 . I'll start by saying this game was truly a masterpiece. And it still held up pretty well today ,except it had the same overly pixelated textures as the old call of duty . But it was more geared towards the smaller, more detailed textures like the grass and road lines . The vehicles had this shine to them, and it wasn't because of the paint choices .

The next one really surprised me . I loaded up gta 5, the Xbox One version, and we had the call of duty effects again. The lines in the road seemed choppy , but I figured oh its because there is a series x version, so I loaded that one up... no, same issues, except now, the game loaded slot faster. It seems the loading is not tied to the consoles performance ,instead, it's about what version you're using .

Last but not least, it was fight night round 3, and this game ran absolutely great and looked identical to the quality outputed by the Xbox One x. I was generally surprised.

I tried to stick to games that wore Xbox Ones x enhanced but also didn't have a series s/ x version . I was starting to think the over pixelation was due to playing in 4k but the Xbox one x upconverted these title and they never looked this, so it leads me to belive the ray tracing is the reason but ether way it was a great way to spend a few hours reliving some of the greatest titles from that Era and I might even leave a few of them on my series x to go back to when things get boring again .
